Pseudotritia monodactyla Willmann, 1919

Tritia (Pseudotritia) monodactyla Willmann, 1919, p. 552, fig. 1; Sellnick, 1923, p. 20, figs. 9, 20, 32.

? Tritia aequipunctata Berlese, 1923, p. 260.

Pseudotritia monodactyla , Sellnick, 1928, p. 39; Willmann, 1931, p. 195, figs. 362, 363; Märkel, 1958, p. 488, fig. 7.

I have placed Tritia aequipunctata with some doubt in the synonymy of Pseudotritia monodactyla ; Märkel's 1958 redescription of monodactyla suits, however, to the notes that I made in 1956.

In the Berlese Collection the type is present (slide no. 216/15; locality: Florence, Cascine), together with slide no. 225/36, a cotype (read: paratype) from Florence ("cotype" is written in pencil, an earlier designation as "tipico" is cancelled). The structure of the tegument of these speeimens, the shape of the sensillus, the notogastral hairs, and the monodactylous legs resemble those of monodactyla .
